• Opportunities to improve services that are directed towards vulnerable people; and
• Improvements to Government services and processes.

This submission outlines Mission Australia’s priority asks for consideration in the 2023/24 NSW Budget, including housing and homelessness, prevention and early intervention for children and families, place-based approaches, addressing cost-of-living pressures, investment in the community sector, and improved disaster recovery.

Ahead of the 2024 Tasmanian election, we need leaders who will take urgent action in four priority areas: housing and homelessness; the wellbeing of Tasmanian children, young people and families; youth justice; and mental health and wellbeing.

Mission Australia’s pre-budget submission focuses on the need for significant progress on homelessness and affordable housing and the need for adequate funding for evidence-based programs that have a positive impact on people’s lives and support them on their journey to independence.
